16 Apr 2015


The end of the Spring term (23 - 25 March) saw another fantastic Aundyryn Kiaull-Theay Vannin - DEC Manx Folk Awards, where schools from all over the Island gathered at the Youth Arts Centre and Rosemount Trinity Church for friendly competitions in Manx music, song, dance and recitation. Highlights included massed primary school choirs singing set song “The Lady Isabella” from Lin Marsh’s New Chronicles of Mann; over 120 young whistle players from 7 schools playing “Bee dty Host” from the Feddan Manx whistle scheme of work [see photo]; young stars from Castle Rushen High School folk group who called themselves South Barrule!; 6 year old Frank Joughin playing “Flitter Dance” perfectly in tune on his tiny fiddle; the recitation of a new poem about the Isle of Man by Zachary Elliot and stunning playing from talented young harpist Arabella Ayen.
